Nahid Tootoonchi, Professor in the Department of Art + Design, Art History, Art Education, presents her sabbatical talk on Friday, March 17, 3:00pm on Zoom. The title of her presentation is “Expressive Calligraphy: From Classic to Contemporary.”
Tootoonchi will share her calligraphy experience in Marrakech, Morocco and the process of her art making in a new direction after 10 years of practicing Farsi calligraphy, transforming the classical form of Persian calligraphy to present time for expressing current events and interpretation of poetry. Her diverse experience in type and letterform creates a new platform for her pedagogical approach to typography as a means of expression and cultural connection.
